his is the type of story that gets you nodding your head and saying, “This proves the point.” A federal grand jury has just indicted ten Philadelphia area iron workers and their union for burning down a Quaker church in 2012 because the church was using non-union labor. All of the ten are members of Ironworkers Local 401. They were charged with the arson after an investigation pointed to their guilt. They are so shameless they called themselves THUGS, Those Helpful Union Guys and thought that was funny. Now the joke is on them.

In its press release regarding the indictment the FBI said, “Ironworkers Local 401 [was charged] with allegedly participating in a conspiracy to commit criminal acts of extortion...

BS. There are plenty more where these came from.

I have little knowledge of unions. Except for my personal experience......

My 1st wife drove for UPS during the 80’s and 90’s. Represented by the teamsters. Union “dues” were considerable and as far as I could tell during her time there they did exactly nothing for their members.

The union reps would come around about twice a year. Stereotypical. Big guys. Thousand dollar suits. Dark sunglasses. Slicked back hair. Italian. New York/New Jersey Italian. I'm not kidding.

non-union labor? So in other words, the church deserved it.

They have been doing this sort of thing for decades. What changed? Did they miss a monthly donation to the DNC?

If unions torched all the places that use non-union labor and violate labor laws there’d be about three union offices left standing.

Sounds a bit like the old KKK to me. Time to treat them with the same respect we gave to the sheeted ones.
